There are over 30 dive sites to choose from ranging in depth<br />
from six metres to 30 metres plus, giving the avid diver plenty<br />
to see. Some of the dive sites in El Nido are Tres Marias where<br />
you can experience a rewarding dive and a good snorkeling<br />
site with lots of reef fish and colorful corals. Also of interest<br />
is the endemic Pomacanthus annularis, an angelifish with<br />
an extra stripe, found only here and at nearby Inambuyod<br />
Boulders. Abdeen’s Reef is known to have a variety of fishers<br />
and good corals. Table, Hard, Staghorn and Mushroom are<br />
abundant in the site, while Garden eels, butterflies, dumsel,<br />
fusiliers, rabbits, wrasses, unicorns and angels and other<br />
tropical fishes roam around. While Miniloc Island offers four<br />
sites, Tagbao Island, Biet Point, Twin Rocks and The Wall, all<br />
of which are relatively calm and sheltered year-round. Both<br />
sides are good training grounds for novice divers and can<br />
also be appreciated by experienced snorkelers.<br />
